It has been awhile, glad to be back! Martin talks live streaming with Dan Meader at John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury, MA. about a hidden and unknown Andy Warhol work find in a New England family attic. “I’m trudging along, it’s 150 degrees in the attic, I’m on my hands and knees going through this box that was just stuff, I can see this bubble wrap in this box that’s falling apart. … I flipped it over and I see the inscription on the back and I started shaking.” Source Auction results will be posted.

I am thrilled that Martinis back doing this podcast. I haven’t listened to this one yet but I have a connection to this podcast subject matter. My brothers bands lead singer was an Andy Warhol Superstar. His name was Eric Emerson if the Magic Tramps. (MagicTramps.com)So I can’t wait to hear this podcast. I don’t really have anything to do with antiques but I’m a big fan of Martins and he makes this podcast interesting and insightful for me. Happy that he’s back. Hope to get more of these.
Thank you… That is real interesting!
